For thousands of years, domestic sheep have been bred for lamb and sheep's milk, while sheepskin products were already a valuable trade commodity more than 10,000 years ago.

People have valued sheepskin as a raw material since antiquity, due to its remarkable health properties.

• Natural sheepskin is mainly characterised by a high content of lanolin in wool, provides antibacterial properties and prevents the multiplication of mites.
• Sheepskin soothes irritations by absorbing moisture and leaving the skin clean and dry.
• Direct contact of the human body with sheepskin relaxes sore muscles.
• Sheepskins improve blood circulation, which in combination with heat has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect.
• Sheepskins are especially recommended for people suffering from rheumatism and as an anti-bedsore prophylaxis for long-term lying people.

Knowing about the extremely positive effect of sheepskin on the human body and skin, why not take advantage of it, in addition, that sheepskin can also be a great decorative element of the interior. Below are some ideas on how you can use sheepskin in your interior.

1. ON THE FLOOR

Put the sheepskin in front of your favourite chair, sofa or simply at the base of your desk and let your feet enjoy cosy and enveloping warmth while you work or relax.
